Care to expand? Prima facie this is a very reasonable stance. Further, image data has a lot of structure not present in other data and it's far from obvious what to do with ML techniques in other contexts.

This is coming from a physicist starting to investigate ML tools in my own work.

Some of the greatest advancements in research and application of machine learning have been within image recognition in the past few years. The inflection point and subsequent boom of deep learning circa 2012 is basically marked by the ImageNet competition of that year.
